West Oxfordshire Bonfire Night 2026: Firework displays, times and tickets

Published on

Thousands of residents across West Oxfordshire are preparing to mark Bonfire Night with fireworks displays scheduled throughout the week.

One of the district’s largest celebrations is the Witney Lakes Fireworks Night 2026, which will take place at Witney Lakes Resort on Friday, November 6.

Gates are open from 6pm until 10pm, with the principal fireworks display due to begin at 8pm.

The organisers have described the occasion as suitable for families and have arranged food vendors, drinks and entertainment.

The annual Hanborough Musical Fireworks will also return to Long Hanborough on Friday.

It has been included in Oxfordshire’s confirmed list of displays for 2026, but the organisers have not yet announced the final schedule.

On Sunday, November 8, the Ducklington Fireworks Spectacular 2026 is expected to attract a crowd to Ducklington Showground, near Witney.

Entry opens at 4pm, followed by a low-noise fireworks show for children at 6pm.

The bonfire is scheduled to be lit at 7pm, before the main award-winning fireworks display begins at 7.30pm.

A funfair, food stalls and a licensed bar will also be available.

Fireworks Night at Minster Mill in Minster Lovell is planned for the same evening and will run from 5pm until 7.30pm, providing a smaller family event with food and entertainment.

Additional displays are arranged for Saturday, November 14, in Kirtlington and Yarnton, although their start times remain unconfirmed.

Residents are advised to book tickets where necessary and consult organisers’ websites before travelling because schedules may be altered.
